Fruits of the Vine: Navigating the Disruptions through Transforming and Transformative Education
Introduction
The EASA 2026 conference provides an inclusive platform to explore how the education landscape can respond to and re-imagine its practices and structures while facing multiple, intersecting disruptions — from the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the accelerating influence of generative and artificial intelligence, to persistent challenges of access and equity in higher education — all within a context of socio-political and environmental volatility.
Key Focus Areas
Thematic strands include:
- Early childhood education
- Initial teacher education
- African languages in multilingual education
- Indigenous knowledge systems
- Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies
- Inclusive approaches and neurodiversity
- Enabling learning environments
- Post-school education and training
- Quality assurance in assessment
- Leadership and management
Oral paper presentations, symposiums, workshops, round table discussions and poster presentations are the formats of presentation at the EASA 2026 Conference.
Virtual presentations are also accommodated for those unable to attend in person, with access limited to sessions in the main plenary venue and the dedicated virtual presentations venue.
